MONUMENT BEACH — Andrea (Caradimos) Sweeney passed away on April 23, 2009, after battling cancer for nearly 12 years. She would have been 48 years old on April 25.

Andrea grew up in Wareham, attended Sacred Heart High School, and earned an associate degree in accounting from Cape Cod Community College. She enjoyed a successful career as an accountant at Colony Insulation in Bourne, where she worked alongside her first husband, Walter Drolette. They had two sons together, Joseph, 20 years old, and Thomas, 18 years old.

In 2002, Andrea married James Sweeney and lived in Bourne. Always conscientious, Andrea juggled a full household, and enjoyed working a second job as a waitress. She worked at the former family restaurant, The Lobster Bowl, and recently at the Trowbridge Inn, where she was known for her service with a smile, and where she acquired many friends.

Andrea was one of the most unselfish and compassionate people anyone could ever meet. It seemed that everybody depended on Andrea, and for good reason. She never let anybody down, and all of us touched by her life readily admit that she improved our lives through her kindness, generosity, undying support and love.

Andrea is survived by her mother, Elaine Caradimos; her husband, James Sweeney; two sons, Joseph and Thomas Drolette, and their father, Walter Drolette; and two sisters, Christine Walsh and Carol Caradimos.

We will all miss Andrea, but are thankful that she knew God and is finally resting in peace.
